Chi Search Center Way Principles
Relax
Balance. Center. Relax. Concentrate. Coordination. Circle
(globe). Proportion. Honesty.
Dr.
Uhlmann asks us to consider the difference between the rigid lance and
the supple bullwhip. Tai Chi Search Center Way Relaxation
is not the same as sloppy loose,
or drunk. He suggests we send relaxing messages to our body where
we detect tension. Supple is the key word. Sitting in a correct
upright posture will require tension in the spine. Totally
relaxed would have us slump down into the belly, and excess tension
will cause pain and discomfort. Notice also as you bring your
attension to tension, that it builds up incrementally, and progresses
through the various conncected parts of the body. If you clench
your jaw for example, the tension will move up into the head, and down
into the neck, shoulders and back.

Recommended Practice:
Have a partner support your hands so that your arms are extended.
Relax. Notice the sensations. Breath in, and relax again as
you breath out. Your partner should feel your hands get
heavier. Repeat. Repeat again, only this time, try and let
your hands fall to your sides. Search for those sensations in
form practice. Without a partner, raise your hands out to the
sides as you sink by flexing the knees. Drop your hands and raise
up suddenly. Repeat several times slowly, concentrate on
relaxation in achieving the coordinated movement.
Decompress
the spine: Start by relaxing the head forward and down,
progressively relaxing down the spine until you are bent over at the
waist Raise up from the bottom to the top, until the head is
erect looking forward. Notice tension as you relax forward and
raise back up. Let tension go. Slowly, repeat.
